Losi TEN SCTE 4WD Review
From: Losi Racing Direct Link: Losi TEN SCTE Review by CubbyWhat’s the fastest growing class here in the good ole’ U S of A? The 4wd short course class is of course! Sporting the realism of their full sized counterparts, and 4wd systems that make them easier to drive (and more fun to bash!), it’s no wonder this genre is blowing [...]

ASK Cub Reporter- Our Mailbox Overflow'eth, Version 02.17.20…
Cubby I am going to buy a new short course truck, what is better Associated SC10 or Traxxas Slash? Thanx Robert G. Cubby– Which one is better? The Traxxas Slash, and here’s why… Let’s say you are a basher- the Slash is better. The Slash is less prone to breakage, waterproof, has more ground clearance, and replacement parts are cheaper. Let’s say you are a [...]
THE Cub Report, 02.14.2011, Version- The Tide Has Turned
Ever notice that when James Stewart doesn’t crash that he nearly always wins? Well… Saturday night in Houston, Bubba crashed twice, netting him a 15th place finish. “Sigh”. But perhaps the bigger news was that Bubba’s lil’ bro Malcolm Stewart competed in his very first pro supercross in Houston (he raced the Lites class). Malcolm looked fast in his [...]

Who was the biggest mover and shaker in rc last week? Thunder Tiger/Associated!!! But first…. Rc has a new face to the masses, and his name is Peter Viera, the marketing manager for Traxxas. I only say this because Peter got some serious face time on mainstream CBS television this morning during their broadcast of the Oakland AMA Supercross. Peter [...]
